Brief Narrative

Deirdre McMaster (pseudonym) was at home when she spotted a strange, flashing, low-flying object out her bedroom window.  She ran to get her camera and moved outside to her back porch where she afixed her camera to a tripod.  As the UFO moved slowly through the sky, she managed to take five photos before it disappeared over the hills off to the west/northwest of her house.

Here is McMaster's drawing of what she saw along with the best photo of the five.  Note that the exposure on the photo is three seconds long.  This makes interpreting what the UFO looked like a little tricky.
